PRAYERS:
We give thanks for all who work on our behalf through the LWF in India. We give thanks for the LWF program director and staff. We remember especially those who go hungry today and have little hope for a better tomorrow. May our work with them reflect your love;

Bless all who are involved in non-formal education programs in India. May their self esteem grow as they learn basic reading and math skills;

For all who pray for rain, and for all who have lost everything with too much rain be under your care;

We pray that God’s amazing grace will be witnessed across India! Amen.
